You can see the fence in the background! This is not hunting, it is shooting. This is what gives HUNTERS a bad name. The [glow=red,2,300]conservation[/glow] hunt cracks me up. They really picked a great name for that one. The picture is a little blurry, so here is the link cincinnati.craigslist.org/spo/1594873784.html |

Being a non-native species it may well be required to be behind a fence. (do not construct that comment as my approval of it)

Maybe they do have to have them fenced in, but then they shouldn't be allowed to charge people to shoot them.

I for one am not in anyway in favor of a high fence operation. However several years ago a friend of mine learned of a farmer that had a herd of BUFFALO that needed to be thinned out.
My friend purchased one of the animals. He took his muzzle loader his truck and trailer and went and shot himself a Buffalo. Now he did not do this for a trophy he did it for the meat.
When I first heard the story I was a little upset but then I thought to myself how would you kill a Buffalo. My friend did not brag on this event as a hunter would do after all he just wanted the meat and the price was right.
If this person is raising these elk for a living and someone wants to buy one, so be it.
Just keep these animals out of the record books.

Different strokes for different folks. go ahead and judge these ladies and gentlemen based on your perspective and limited knowledge of how these hunts are organized and performed.

I can't wait until they start offering veal hunts. Now THAT would be some sport!  |

Elk in Ohio has to be high fence. $800 to fill freezer with elk meat. More than likely cow. Might well be worth it. These people are elk farmers. Just like the people around here that raise cattle, they are farmers not ranchers. It is not a hunt but a shoot. Like the one guy did, fill the freezer don't brag. I don't care for high fence either.

Performed? Interesting descriptions. I'm judging this from the perspective of a hunter and it cuts me to the core to see the word "hunt" applied to it. I don't want the sport I pursue to be associated with this type of thing by the use of the word. It puts what I do in a bad light with the non-hunting public. Please call it by another name. |

Let's see....the photographer is a few feet from two 300"+ Bull Elk....in Ohio, with a high fence right behind the Elk. Not really much judgment to it is there? Maybe i'm making some really off the wall assumptions, but it seems rather obvious to me. |

......+3..................turkey scout +4 I think the outcome of anyone willing to spend the money is fairly obvious at these shooting operations...which just does not making it really hunting in my book. Did anyone see the Outdoor Life online pics of the #420 whitetail that someone had on here a couple of weeks ago and the comments that were posted about it? The overwhemling majority of those comments were not in favor of considering it a "hunted" deer. |
